All Reviews for Sunset Cruises

The catamaran cruise offers various time slots, but this sunset cruise is the best. I experienced it for the first time last year and was very moved, so I participated again on the last day this year. I was the only Japanese person, but I had a great time surrounded by cheerful Americans. Unlike large ship cruises, the catamaran glides over the water, and the refreshing sea breeze is very pleasant. We were blessed with good weather and were able to see the best sunset. There is no food provided, but Mai Tais and soft drinks are all-you-can-drink. Considering the generally poor cost performance in Hawaii, I think the value of this event is excellent.

カタマランクルーズはいろんな時間帯がありますが、このサンセットクルーズは最高です。去年初めて経験してとても感動しましたので今年も最終日に参加しました。日本人は私一人でしたが陽気なアメリカ人に囲まれてとても楽しかったです。大型船のクルーズと違って水面を滑るように走るカタマランは気持ちの良い海風がとても爽快です。天気にも恵まれ最高のサンセットを見ることができました。食事などはありませんがマイタイやソフトドリンクは飲み放題です。何かとコストパフォーマンスの悪いハワイにあってこのイベントのコスパは最高だと思います。

We had a great time but did notice there were no fireworks and we booked the fireworks sail?

Crew was nice. Somewhat disorganized at the beach. I don't like when they take pictures to sell you.

When I booked the Early Bird Whale Watch Cruise for the 15th April, it was my only opportunity to possibly see some whales. I knew it was the last day of the Star of Honolulu Whale Watch Cuises and I may not necessarily see any whales, and unfortunately we didn't. But that didn't stop me from having an absolutely wonderful time. There were not may 'tourists' on this cruise, probably because it was the end of the season, and we were allowed to wonder about the boat freely. The staff were very informative, and really made us all feel very welcome. I spent my time walking about the ship taking some wonderful photos and talking to other tourists and staff. It was a beautiful sunny day, though a bit windy. To be out on the water on such a beautiful day with some fantastic people was a joy. It was a disappointment we didn't see whales, but a gamble I took when booking. The company guarantees you will see whales, in the event that you dont, they give vouchers for a free cruise, valid for 12 months.
Next time I go to Oahu it will be in January, and I can redeem the free cruise voucher.
I would recommend the Star of Honolulu whale watch cruises, the ship is beautiful and clean, the staff are fantastic, and the scenery is beautiful.

As one of the events after the ceremony, we invited both families and boarded a boat. I love this catamaran option and always use it when I go to Hawaii. It was great to see that my mother-in-law and husband, who were riding for the first time, enjoyed it very much. We were able to go close to Diamond Head, take impressive photos, and we were blessed with good weather, allowing us to see a wonderful sunset. I would like to use this service again.

挙式後のイベントのひとつとして、両家を招待して乗船しました。
私はカタマランのこのオプションが大好きで、ハワイに行くと必ず利用しています。
はじめて乗った義母も旦那さんもとても楽しめた様で、良かったです。
ダイヤモンドヘッドに近いところまで回って、迫力ある写真も取れましたし、お天気にも恵まれ、素晴らしいサンセットを見ることが出来ました。また利用したいです。

Departing from Waikiki Beach at dusk.
Since it was Friday, we were able to enjoy the fireworks launched from the Sheraton Village from the sea.
I indulged in the luxurious experience of sipping a Mai Tai while taking in the night view of Waikiki.

夕暮れにワイキキの浜から出航。
ちょうど金曜日であったため、シェラトンビレッジの打ち上げる花火を海上から眺めることができました。
マイタイを飲みながらワイキキの夜景を眺めるというぜいたくな時間を満喫しました。

We celebrated a 25 th anniversary, and had a fantastic time. The crew was friendly and fun.

This is a wonderful dinner cruise! From the onset, the staff and crew catered to our every need. Our server, Kahleo (sp?) was a doll! We chose the tenderloin and all-you-can-eat crab meal and have to say, it was excellent! The tenderloin was cooked perfectly and the crab was hot and plentiful! Our window seat table was awesome. I'm amazed how the crew can serve so many people a hot, wonderful meal! Fantastic cruise up to Diamond Head ending with a beautiful fireworks display. A ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ evening! Would definitely recommend to anyone considering a dinner cruise!

I participated in a night cruise where we could see the fireworks on Friday. The boat had minimal rocking, and the night view of Waikiki was amazing. With free drinks, we had unlimited Hawaiian cocktails, and it was quite lively. It's safe even for families with children, so I highly recommend it.

金曜の花火がみられるナイトクルーズに参加。船は揺れも少なく、ワイキキの夜景は最高。フリードリンクでハワイのカクテルも飲み放題で、かなり盛り上がりました。子ども連れでも危険はなくお薦めです。

Great crew a very fun time for my wife and son and myself. Food was good desserts were good.
Hilight of the cruise was the sighting of a whale.
The M C was very friendly and our waiter Max could not have been more helpful.

It was the only event during this trip with few Japanese people. The fireworks were clearly visible, and it was lively and fun. Although it was an all-you-can-drink option, I felt like I might get seasick from drinking too much.

今回の旅で唯一日本人が少ないイベントでした。
花火もよく見え、ノリがよく楽しかったです。
飲み放題ですが、飲みすぎて船酔い誘発しそうでした。

I was looking forward to whale watching! I was worried about whether I would actually see a whale, but I was able to see them properly. I saw a mother and calf whale.

After that, a few more showed up, but they were quite far away, just showing a bit of their bodies above the surface, and there wasn't the big splash I was hoping for. However, the scenery was wonderful, and I enjoyed the cruise, so I was very satisfied.

I want to see a whale make a big splash someday, so if I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii, I definitely want to participate again.

楽しみにしていたホエールウォッチング！クジラが実際に見られるか不安でしたがちゃんと見ることできました。
親子クジラ見えました。
その後も何頭か姿を見せてくれましたが、距離的には遠く水面から少し胴体を出すくらいで、期待していた胴体を水面にザッパーンとかはありませんでした。
ですが、景色も素晴らしかったしクルーズとしても楽しめたので大満足でした。

いつかザッパーンするクジラが見たいのでハワイに行く機会があったら是非また参加したいと思います。

We were blessed with great weather and were able to enjoy a beautiful sunset! Onboard, drinks were served, and there were tourists singing along to the background music (laughs), but the atmosphere was relaxed, making it easy to enjoy the cruise. Anyway, as long as the weather is good, I think it will be a wonderful memory.

お天気に恵まれ、素敵なサンセットを眺めることが出来ました！
船内ではドリンクが振る舞われ、BGMで合唱する観光客の方達もいましたが（笑）、リラックスした雰囲気でクルーズを楽しめます。とにかく、お天気が悪くなければ良い思い出になるかと思います。

Lots of drinks and laughs and a beautiful sunset cruise – shame one of the other passengers stole my flip flops when we went ashore!

Had a lots of fun and a good activity to see the sunset

Great time, great views, and great crew. This was an amazing experience. The drinks were delicious.

If you go to Hawaii, you must take a sunset cruise. No matter how many times you go, it feels great and is moving! I definitely plan to go again next year. The all-you-can-drink Mai Tai is delicious too!

ハワイに行ったら必ずサンセットクルーズ。何度乗っても気持ちよく感動できます！また来年も絶対乗ろうと思います。飲み放題のマイタイも美味しいですよ

A real Aloha spirit was experience on this cruise. My family enjoyed it very much.
Food was good and the service was excellent!!!

I thought the fireworks at Hilton would be the main event (of course, the fireworks were wonderful), but the cruise continued for quite a while, and it felt really nice! (A hoodie is a must.) My parents started with beer, but they seemed to really enjoy the Mai Tai cocktail and were happily drinking! I'm glad we went.

The most impressive part was the deck of the boat illuminated by the moonlight, creating an indescribably mystical atmosphere. (I couldn't take good photos because it was dark, so I can't share that.)

I felt that both the daytime and sunset had their own charm. I would love to participate again next time.

ヒルトンの花火がメインと思っていましたが
(もちろん花火は素晴らしく)
真っ直ぐ、浜辺(乗った場所)に帰るのかなぁ～と思っていたら
結構な時間、クルーズが続いて
とっても気持ち良かったです！(パーカーは必須)
両親は、始めビールばかりでしたが
マイタイ(カクテル)が気に入ったらしく
ご機嫌に飲んでました！
行って良かったと思いました。

一番印象的だったのは、月明かりに船のデッキが照らされて
なんとも言葉ではいい表せないくらい、とても神秘的な雰囲気でした。
(写真は、暗くてうまく撮れなかったのでお伝えできませんが)

お昼間、サンセットそれぞれ良さがあると感じました。
次回も、また参加したいです。

I came back again this year. The scenery on this cruise was amazing. Unfortunately, I didn't see any whales, but I definitely want to plan for next year and participate again.

去年に続き、やってきました。このクルーズ景色はサイコーでした。
残念でしたがホエールは見れませんでした、来年も計画して是非参加したいです。

The Sunset Cocktail Tour was fantastic. The tour guide and bartender are both friendly and helpful without being overbearing in any way. The drinks were delicious and you absolutely couldn't beat the view. The ship was very spacious and we had an awesome time. Totally worth the price!

This was the highlight of our vacation. Watching the sunset over the ocean and fireworks from the water was fun and romantic. The food was pretty good and very filling. We had great time. I would highly recommend this excursion.

The sunset viewed from the sea was beautiful and moving. There was only one other couple besides our family, and everyone spoke English, but we had no trouble enjoying the cruise while sipping Mai Tais and soft drinks. As time went on, the Mai Tais kept flowing, and the atmosphere on the boat became very lively. In the second half, we split into groups on the right and left sides of the boat, and began a loud call-and-response of "Ho~♪ Fu~♪," creating quite a commotion.

It became a very memorable sunset cruise as we felt a sense of unity with the people we happened to be with.

When boarding and disembarking, the waves can come up to knee height, so it's best to wear clothes that you don't mind getting wet. Also, once you head out to sea, the wind can be strong, so having an extra layer to wear would be a good idea.

海から観るサンセットは美しく感動ものでした。日本人は私たち家族とカップルが一組のみ。英語オンリーでしたが、問題なくマイタイやソフトドリンクを飲みながらクルーズを楽しむことができました。
時間が経つにつれマイタイも進み、船内は非常に盛り上がり、後半は、船の右と左のグループに分かれて、「ホウ～♪フウ～♪」と大声の掛け合いが始まり大騒ぎ＾＾
たまたま乗り合わせた人たちと一体感を持てて、とても思い出深いサンセットクルーズになりました。

乗船と下船の際には、波がひざ上くらいに来ることがありますので、濡れても良い服装がいいです。また、沖へ出ると風が強いので、一枚羽織るものがあると良いと思います。

We had a lovely time on the cruise, staff was nice, and drinks were tasty

We decided to splurge a little on the sunset dinner cruise our last night in Waikiki. Great decision. I booked on Veltra and got a seniors' rate. The pick up and drop off was at no additional charge, and worked like clockwork. If you plan to enhance your ocean outing with lots of alcoholic drinks, it might be worth a bit extra to purchase the larger souvenir glass, which seemed pretty popular. A sweater or a jacket is a must, especially when the sun goes down. The staff were efficient and very friendly. Whales were spotted! Highly recommended activity.

This was hands down our favorite excursion on the island! Fantastic Crew, great food, fun music, great snorkeling, and lovely boat ride. We went with my mom and our 5 year old son. Both of them chose not to snorkel and still had a blast. Extra bonus, they have a photographer who took tons of photos (even underwater!) at the cost of $40 for the entire flash drive. Really great time! Highly recommend!! We will be back :-)

We participated as a family of four. It wasn't too hot or too cold, and there was a slight breeze, so the weather was perfect. Even though there was an all-you-can-drink option, I found that two sweet cocktails were more than enough. It was my first time seeing Waikiki from the ocean, and I thought it was great. On the boat, the American ladies were lively and it was entertaining.

家族4人で参加。暑くもなく、寒気もなく、風も少しあり天気は最高でした。
お酒飲み放題といっても、甘ったるいカクテルで２杯も飲めばもう十分です。
海の方からワイキキを見るのは初めてでしたので、良かったと思います。
船の上は米人の小母さん達が盛り上がって面白かったです。

Everything was wonderful. The food, and service... I will come back again

I didn't see any tails splashing, but I did see whales multiple times and also witnessed spouting. I opted for the breakfast option, and it had more variety than I expected and was delicious, so I'm glad I chose it. The boat was large, so I didn't get seasick, and the restroom was clean. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was also wonderful! Even if you don't see whales, you can still enjoy the cruise. I would love to participate again.

しっぽバッシャーンのような姿は見られませんでしたが、何度もクジラの姿が見られたし、潮吹きも見られました。朝食付きにしましたが、思っていたよりも種類もあったしおいしかったので付けてよかったです。大きな船だったので船酔いもなく、トイレもきれい、海から見るワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドの姿も素晴らしかったです！もしクジラが見られなくてもクルーズを楽しめます。また参加したいです。

It's awesome!!!!! And very nice. It's my first time get on board, and I will never forget this experience in my life. Thank to staff on board!!!
